Rotating gani possible?

Kinatt · #1 01-24-2003, 09:20 PM

Why not implement a feature so that img's in ganis can be rotated, flipped, and scaled . I don't know if that's possible.. lol I just thought it would be hot. cuz then you could have things spinning fluently and things growing or shrinking like players .. that would be cool.. again I don't know if it's even possible. it's just a thought.

Becasue unless he totaly reconfigured his video card that wouldn't happen

Stefan already went over this. He cannot make diagonal images etc because it is too much to require from the graphics card to support it. Or something, not sure. :O

*makes a gani that rotates #P1 or flips or mirrors based on #P2*

Today's lesson - 32 images can be drawn instantaneously, 1024 images take approximately 30 seconds to draw. As such, I would recommend you stick with the Flip and Mirror features unless you're wholly insane. Rotation doesn't work well anyway, it probably crops everything to a square...I could repair it if I cared, but I don't. If you know how to use a gani as a part of a gani, you're set in any case.

Not bad Tyhm, I like it very much. Takes alot of CPU usage though

It happened to me.

Tyhm · #12 01-26-2003, 03:21 AM

Which is why I recommend sticking to flip and mirror.

It would be neat to have that type of stuff... kind of like the FX chip for Yoshi's Island on SNES. Every enemy used the graphics chip in some way. (like stretching, shrinking, etc)

Kinatt · #14 01-27-2003, 06:58 AM

Yea that's what im talking about .. but if stefan says its too hard or too impossible I guess it is just that -_-

tlf288 · #15 01-27-2003, 07:05 AM

Since Stefan is porting Graal to c++ I am sure a whole new range of possiblities will open up. So this probally can be possible even though it didn't used to be
